Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups, packed brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups creamy peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and beat until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Mix in the peanut butter until smooth and well combined.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll it into 1-inch balls.

Step 8

Place the cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 9

Dip a fork in the extra granulated sugar, then gently press the tines of the fork into the top of each cookie to create a crisscross pattern.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are lightly golden. Avoid overbaking for soft and chewy cookies.

Step 11

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Serve and enjoy! Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
